CASA BLANCA (Washington 1940) M. This iris was introduced 
by us in 1940, but in transplanting of the Washington iris at Nash- 
ville, several plants of it were lost, so we refused all orders

ever been sold or sent out for exhibition. I have written this for 
in the A. I. S. Bulletin No. 90, page 80 there is a reference to an 
iris Casa Blanca growing in a Pacific coast garden. I wish to state

Fairmount Gardens. :
